(1) Separately metered residential:All residential customers with a single living unit supplied
with water from one meter shall be charged the following sewer or wastewater charges for
each meter service:
(a) All residential customers with a single living unit who are supplied with sewer service
shall be charged a monthly sewer base charge of$33.35.
(b) In addition to the monthly sewer or wastewater base charge,residential customers with a
single living unit who are supplied with sewer service shall be charged a monthly excess
sewer or wastewater volume charge of$0.00215 for each gallon of total water used(and
wastewater produced)in excess of 2,000 gallons(the amount included in the sewer or
wastewater base charge).
(c) For purposes of this calculation,the monthly water usage(and wastewater produced)
shall be determined using the customer's average monthly water usage(and wastewater
produced)during the preceding winter quarter months of December,January,and
February.When no preceding winter average data are available from prior customer
records,an estimated average monthly winter average volume of 10,000 gallons shall be
used to calculate the monthly excess sewer or wastewater charge per residential unit.
86-111 (2) When two or more residential living units are supplied with water from one meter,the sewer
or wastewater service shall be classified as multi-family residential sewer or wastewater
service.Multi-family residential sewer or wastewater service customers shall be charged the

(a) A monthly sewer or wastewater base charge of$33.35(the monthly sewer or

(b) In addition to the monthly base sewer or wastewater charge,multi-family residential
customers who are supplied with sewer service shall be charged a monthly sewer or
wastewater excess volume usage charge.Monthly sewer or wastewater excess volume
charges will be assessed based on the number of adjusted residential units served by the
meter.The number of"adjusted multi-family residential units"shall be the actual
number of multi-family residential units served by the meter,multiplied by an
occupancy factor of 80%,rounded up to the nearest whole number.
(c) Each adjusted multi-family residential unit shall be assessed a sewer or wastewater
excess volume charge each month calculated as follows:
1) The monthly winter average water volume or estimated sewer volume,used shall
be divided by the number of adjusted multi-family residential units to determine
the monthly volume usage per adjusted multi-family residential unit;
2) The monthly winter average water volume per adjusted multi-family residential
unit shall then be reduced by 2,000 gallons(the amount of usage included in the
base charge)to determine the excess sewer or wastewater usage per multi-family
residential unit;
3) The total excess sewer or wastewater usage shall then be assessed at a rate of
$0.00215 for each gallon of total winter average water used(and wastewater
produced)in excess of the first 2,000 gallons of volume usage included in the base
charge;
4) The excess sewer or wastewater usage charge per unit shall then be multiplied by
the adjusted multi-family residential units supplied water by the meter to obtain a
total volume charge for winter average water usage for the meter.
(d) For purposes of this calculation,the monthly winter average sewer or wastewater usage
shall be determined using the customer's average monthly water usage(and wastewater
produced)during the preceding winter quarter months of December,January and
February.When no preceding winter average data are available from prior customer
records,an estimated average monthly winter average volume of 10,000 gallons shall be
used to calculate the monthly excess sewer or wastewater charge per multi-family
residential unit.
(3) The following sewer or wastewater charges shall be made to non-residential customers on the
Richland Hills sewer system:
(a) The monthly minimum sewer or wastewater base charge shall be$38.50 for the first

period.
(b) In addition to the monthly base charge,non-residential customers who are supplied
with sewer service shall be charged a monthly excess sewer or wastewater volume usage
charge of$0.00335 for each gallon of total water used(and wastewater produced)over
the first 2,000 gallons of winter average water volume usage included in the base
charge.
